It may be the same thing in Italy, but it would probably be a good idea to ask first.SilverRainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00580230961425635077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-88148721792223688822007-10-13T22:46:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:46:00.000-04:00My daughter loved for us to send her stickers and ...My daughter loved for us to send her stickers and other things for the kids in the mission. I spent alot of money at the Church Distribution Center, with lots of the smaller pics for the ward members and people they were teaching.<br>My idea for you. How about ordering things off the internet and having them sent to the Mission President's house/office? You can even order things from Walmart! I am sure the Mission Mom wouldn't have a problem putting them all in a box or a bag after they have arrived. What do you think? Don't forget family pics or a video!Johttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15530972001172936718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-17218524787026542482007-10-13T22:10:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:10:00.000-04:00While their favorite US items may be missed, I'...While their favorite US items may be missed, I'm sure that they'll understand you're not able to easily obtain those items either! Perhaps something to give them a sense what your new home is like? Pictures, useful trinkets, etc.Janellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11092893864737058248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-61390468993930180202007-10-13T21:35:00.000-04:002007-10-13T21:35:00.000-04:00You could always give me some money and I can put ...You could always give me some money and I can put together packages for them, but it might be more expensive sending them from the US anyways.<br><br>Oh, this is Flora by the way.And the City Lights Blur..http://www.blogger.com/profile/12489134529839557164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035557836022548249.post-69086036681894657422007-10-13T18:50:00.000-04:002007-10-13T18:50:00.000-04:00My favorite packages were filled with simple thing...My favorite packages were filled with simple things that suddenly turned into luxuries on a missionary budget--like nice shampoo, name-brand instant oatmeal, good nylons that didn't run the first time I wore them, stamps, stationery, Crystal Light mix, etc. You might need to enlist help from someone in the U.S. to make that happen, but I'm sure your daughters would love it. It wasn't just the stuff itself that I loved, it was knowing that my mom really knew me and what I would be missing!<br><br>If I were your daughter, I would be dying to hear all about Saudi Arabia, so I hope you'll send lots of details, and especially pictures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
